I know ill probably get some crap for this....
soooo.. my z project got pushed back for the zr1....
been keeping it on tender, voltage is great....
fired it up to move it, opened started fine. ..
moved it again, opened started fine....
went to open it today, won't recognize either fob....
I cut the key line because I have another lock and key assembly on the way.....
so.... best way to get it opened now?

Key slot above the rear liscence plate to open the rear hatch, reach in on the left hand side to pull driver door release lever to open the drivers door.
If you don't see the drivers release tab, feel the carpet for the slots, then reach in and pull both the gas door tab and the door release tab out of the slots.
As for fob problem, may have glitched the RCDLR with the tender, so once in the car, open the hood, disconnect the battery for a few mins to let the modules in the car bleed down to Zero state, then reconnect the battery to re-energized the modules to re-boot them fresh.

yeah no key for the trunk......
I think it was because I was adjusted the tune before I parked it and locked it.....
I just ordered some air wedges to try to get room in the hatch enough to snag the door pull latch....

the red lock light on the inside of the door flashes when I try to open the door....
tried both doors, red flashes...
tried both fobs and new cr 2032 in both.....
edit... yes, I had cut the cable for the mechanical lock when I pulled the bumper cover... dumb move, I had actually looked right at the cut cable three days ago and thought... "man I should rig that up so I don't get locked out.... I'll do it when it's back in the garage...."

Personal opinion here: Pull the battery out of another vehicle to be the power source vs the limited power of a tender.

I think the wedges would be easier to use between the door windows and the targa top, a long rod with a "L" bend on the end should be able to catch the emergency door release down by the floor.

sooooooooo.....
let the car sit for a couple days, wrapped up some work on the zr1 and remembered I needed to move the z06 for the gas company....
I went back to the garage to grab a floor jack... was just going to let up on the rear tires and roll it back....
grabbed a fob and said "what the ****".... walked up to the passenger door and grabbed the pad....
door opens.
run around to drivers side and door opens too....
throw it in neutral and roll it back....
pop the trunk... throw a rag in the latch and deal with it tomorrow....
